Maybe they can work it off passing out cautionary leaflets to other clueless people at the trailhead.[

Joe and Jane Public goes out to see the flowing lava. An unfortunate turn of events results in their deaths.
What would be your reaction?
Now it turns out to be your relative Joe and Jane who were the victims.
Now, what would be your reaction?
Or, throw in little Brianna and her brother Zake as additional victims.
What do you think the reaction of the public would be?

If the flow was on someones property, and they could safely access same from the side, could they set up a process to divert some flow to molds, mabe just blocks, or tikis or whatever? On your own land with no incursion into any others! This has been done before, and now I've seen the overall flow pattern, I can see how. Mabe the state and city should just let fools rip, if you blow it it's your problem, true custom poured lava paperweights, steping stones, bricks, custom molds! Millions of tons of functional material lost to the sea!

But Bob, the Volcano NEEDS Brianna. Its the only thing that will satisfy her and make her stop threatening our town!! Give her the girl!
well, I'm glad the County is doing something to manage the situation, because at least half the tourists I work with are planning on taking their kids, and kids shouldn't have to pay the price for Darwinian Award moves by their parents, even if they do share DNA.
Ironically, a lot of the parents are doing it because their kids are so excited about seeing lava.
What's missing in this loop is a little thing called INFORMATION about what lava can do, like change paths and spit out chunks. Plus these are people who've never set foot on a trail through lava until the night they set out, flashlight in hands, with their three year old.
Glen, I like your list. [:p]

As someone who got "stuck" in the traffic crush last night, I'd love to see signs 'GIVE OUTGOING TRAFFIC THE RIGHT OF WAY". I was *this close* to getting out & directing traffic last night, but it miraculously cleared up. It could have been really sticky if the lava had jumped forward & folks *really* needed to get out in a hurry.
I also saw a lot of A*hole parking last night. Folks in compact cars parking on the 'side' of the gravel roads with no room to get by...I guess they assumed all the cars that needed to get by were the size of their compacts! We almost fell off the road trying to get around one in our fat pickup truck.
I really feel sorry for the residents who still need to get to their properties near the parking lot
